Other macros are sound. But IMO you shouldnt say stuff like "this macro will target the mob attacking the healer." Since not all people will have the option to change there offensive target when they get hit. I know i dont.
Maybe my wording could have been changed. However with the group I play with, this has never failed to work. Though I do not use these in quite the way i did in Beta when this was posted.

The easiest way to keep the healer alive is to use other abilities we have at our disposal. We have rescues, and attacks that force the mob to attack us , usually before these run out I have gained aggro off of the second mob.

I have noticed that I never loose aggro on single mob pulls to the healer. Now on 3-4 mob pulls, usually after the second mob dies, i have to pull a mob off the healer. Again this is easily taken care of!

The main problem i see with holding aggro is not in the warriors control. It is with playing with competent DPS classes that understand that you do not go all out before the warrior gets that first taunting strike off.
